Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Franklin Marshall (ranked 4133 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hyoki Sinsuki (ranked 7667 p4p, 0 weight class). Sinsuki has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
